Composition

edit

It was composed by AV Prafullachandra; he also handled the arranging and mixing. The song was recorded by Dhananjay Sathe at TSM Studios, Rahul Sharma and Samir Dharap at Studio 504 in Mumbai, and mastered at Newedge Studio, Mumbai, by Shadab Rayeen.[1] Prafullachandra emphasizes that a song within a film is more than just a musical piece; it encapsulates a journey of life, filled with emotions. Working with Nagraj sir previously, he appreciates his meticulous attention to every aspect of the film, including the music. Consequently, all these elements seamlessly align to create a cohesive and impactful cinematic experience.[2][3]

"At the time of Sairat, when I used to hear the songs, I used to tell myself that Maharashtra is going to love this. Before the song release, we used to carry those songs discreetly like bombs in our cell phones – only mine and Kutub’s (Inamdar). We used to lock ourselves in the cars and discreetly listen to the songs. This time around too, we had to follow the same routine. So this is basically the second bomb that we are presenting."

— Nagraj Manjule said at the launch of the song in Pune[4]

Lyrics of the song was written by Vaibhav Deshmukh and sung by Pravin Kuwar.[5]
